well i put the aem big brakes on. my problem is that the rotors are rubbing the lca. i didnt think there was a difference between the awd and fwd lca's, but am i wrong??
i took a grinder to the lca's and removed a little bit of material and that helped alot with the rubbing. but didnt totally eliminate it. the only thing i can figure is that since my car is dropped 2.5" and dropping a dsm gives positive camber, i need to get a camber kit and give myself some negative camber any thoughts or input would be appreciated! one thing is for sure.. it was definitely a good upgrade.. stops a hell of alot better! btw, does anyone know who aem sold the design to? i wanna get replacement rotors for it |

I think you mean dropping a DSM gives it negative camber. Negative is when the top of the wheel leans into the car. I could see a camber kit helping though as it should straighten out the wheels a bit. Glad to hear you like it. That gives me another idea for a forum improvement. A part review section.
